Wow! I'm amazed at how knowledgeable you all are! I had no idea what an interesting can of worms I was opening up but I'm so glad for this discussion!
Will definitely be spoken about in my next session :)
Thank you @joeylittle for your confidence in my ability to "future plan". I don't have the confidence that I'm able to buy at least I know someone realizes :)
You're 100% correct! I had another session and asked her about it and she said the phrase is actually "apparent COMPETENCE"
A lot of the time I have a hard time thinking of questions until I'm out of the session so I (usually) ask it the next time
First off, I hope all you Americans had an easy July 4th
I had a T session in which I was telling her that my suicidal ideation was getting much stronger and so she moved the conversation into the direction of asking me what do I WANT to live for.
I told her it's always been my dream to have...
I haven't been doing any of our goals that we discuss during sessions.
"Discovered" today why. Pretty much I'm wavering between whether I want to live or die.
If I don't want to live, why go through all this hard work but more importantly, I want whatever money I have from disability to go to...
My bro is arriving tonight and staying by me for a few days. I wanted to freshen up my place, ser up his bed etc but anxiety has been so high. I texted him the above and he said not to worry about it at all.
I've taken 8 mg of Xanax today so far and was still feeling "antsy". So I cigarette...
Yes! That is exactly how I feel... so much better in session and then I fall flat the moment I leave her office. Literally.
She is my 4th T and she comes very highly recommended so I don't think she's "bad" at her job just maybe... not as sympathetic as I need at times. She's all about goals...
I was going twice a week. We were working with cbt therapy and then decided to change to dbt. I wasn't getting a handle on the tasks I needed to do in between sessions... my T used the term "willfulness" a lot. That I was being willful in trying to understand the past and not really believing I...
Not true. Some countries have "compassionate death" in which doctors are legally allowed to let their patients die with meds.
I consider her to be a true friend bc she's been through a lot of the same issues I have and she understands
I think my suicidal idieation is turning to serious suicide planning.
I don't even know y I'm posting this because I DON'T want to be talked out of it.
Suppose this is just helping me think it out loud.
Bleh. Yeh, there's stuff going on that's stressful but there always is.
These thoughts...
I had my disability hearing like a week ago and the judge said I should be expecting a favorable decision. My attorney said that means I won.
My anxiety starting going through the roof about 3 days before the hearing... ok, that I expected. But it hasn't gone away! Always anxiety. No relief...
Triggered badly today and now seriously considering ending this "beautiful" (heavy on the sarcasm) life.
Not now but... no... I'm not calling any hotlines
Today I saw an old picture of Trump and 15 yr old daughter Ivanka. It was disgusting. She was splayed over him like he was her boyfriend, not father.
Keep in mind I don't know who or what happened to me as a child. Just that something DID.
This sent me bonkers. I tried watching tv to get my...
Yeh, I guess ur right. It's all the way in my gut and I just can't reach it
You're funny :) I'm sorry for uthat you've been in that place so many times :(
I just am not sure about the Lexapro bc it was working pretty well (although I was heavily relying on Xanax).
Agh, who knows. The docs...
